Narcissism and COVID-19: new study finds narcissists are less willing to self-isolate

Honestly, in my old age, a good quality pillow is a godsend and worth the price.

All of this is an inevitable consequence of a training regimen that emphasizes domination over diplomacy. A history of economic disenfranchisement and financial contributions from the prison-industrial complex are also to blame, but much can be improved simply by requiring mandatory yearS of education.

Whether it's police or politicians, the apologists who keep trying to convince us that we didn't see what we saw, didn't hear what we heard... it starts to get really insulting.

We can do this the nice way or the honest way.

Don't force the square nun into the round hole.

"There's something about her — the longevity of her career, the multifaceted three-dimensional nature of who she is, and the appeal that she has to so many different people from so many different walks of life with such different backgrounds, different political views, different gender identities, all of it," Lager said.

If the police actually used a weapon on a kid after she was safely in custody, the police were solidly in the wrong.
 
Period.
 
Period.
